Jake Dotchin: Goes unqualified by Blues
Dotchin did not receive a qualifying offer from the Blues and will become a UFA on Friday, Patrick Williams of NHL.com reports.
Dotchin spent all of the 2019-20 campaign with AHL St. Louis, where he had eight points in 37 contests. He's amassed 23 points in 103 games at the NHL level between the Lightning and the Ducks, but Dotchin will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in 2020-21. He is most likely to serve as organizational depth on the blue line.

Blues' Jake Dotchin: Joining Blues
Dotchin signed a one-year, two-way deal with St. Louis on Monday.
Dotchin split time between Anaheim and AHL San Diego last season but has 103 NHL games under his belt. The 6-foot-3 defenseman joins a handful of other depth signings by St. Louis today and could fight for a depth role on the NHL roster.

Jake Dotchin: Will hit free agency
Dotchin didn't receive a qualifying offer from Anaheim on Tuesday.
Dotchin was pretty ineffective during his time with the Ducks this season, picking up one assist while posting a minus-4 rating in 20 games, so Anaheim shouldn't have much trouble replacing his production in 2019-20. The 2012 sixth-round pick should, however, be able to land a two-way deal with a new club with relative ease this offseason.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Sent back to AHL
Dotchin was reassigned to AHL San Deigo on Wednesday.
Dotchin failed to make a strong impression with the Ducks, as he heads back to the minors having accumulated just one point (an assist) through his first 20 games for a club that has struggled virtually all year on both ends of the ice. It would be very surprising if Dotchin ends up receiving a qualifying offer from the Ducks as a restricted free agent this summer.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Receives top-level promotion
Dotchin was called up from AHL San Diego on Thursday.
Dotchin could be utilized in Friday's road game against the Flames. After all, Cam Fowler is dealing with an undisclosed injury that he sustained in Tuesday's game against the Canucks, and the former is on hand as insurance in case the more established defenseman doesn't feel well enough to suit up.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Destined for San Diego
The Ducks sent Dotchin back to AHL San Diego on Thursday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
Dotchin joined the top team during the All-Star break to get a breather, but he'll retake his spot with the minor-league squad as the second half fires up. Jaycob Megna replaces him on the active roster, but Dotchin should remain on the shortlist for recall should injuries hit along the blue line.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Rejoins AHL affiliate
The Ducks summoned Dotchin from the AHL ranks Thursday.
It appears Dotchin is headed for some time off with the All-Star break ahead, allowing some of the Ducks' roster to head to the minors for some extra action. It's unclear if Dotchin will stick around when the second half opens Feb. 2 against the Jets, but the 24-year-old blueliner has pieced together just one point (an assist) and a minus-4 rating through 20 NHL games this season.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Returned to minor-league affiliate
The Ducks assigned Dotchin to AHL San Diego on Wednesday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Dotchin has only averaged 10:58 of ice time during the four games he's appeared in since being promoted Jan. 7, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. Anaheim recalled fellow defenseman Andrej Sustr in a corresponding move Wednesday, so Dotchin will remain in the minors for the foreseeable future.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Summoned by parent club
Dotchin was recalled from AHL San Diego on Monday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
A day after being sent down to the minors, Dotchin finds himself back in the NHL. With just a single assist over 16 NHL appearances this season, the 24-year-old's fantasy value is nonexistent.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Heading to AHL
Dotchin was sent down to AHL San Diego on Sunday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Dotchin's demotion is good news for Cam Fowler (face), who is expected to return Sunday. The 24-year-old will likely continue bouncing between the NHL and AHL levels for the rest of the season and his fantasy value will be virtually nonexistent.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Placed on waivers
The Ducks waived Dotchin on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Dotchin has only averaged 10:11 of ice time in Anaheim's last four contests, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 24-year-old blueliner will almost certainly be assigned to AHL San Diego if he goes unclaimed.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Joining big club
Dotchin was promoted to the NHL level from AHL San Diego on Sunday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Dotchin appeared in 83 NHL games with the Lightning from 2016-2018, scoring three goals and 22 points. Anaheim signed him to a contract in October after he was waived by Tampa Bay. Dotchin will likely be some insurance for the defensive group while the team deals with a few injuries.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Shipped to AHL
Dotchin was assigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday after clearing waivers.
Dotchin may have had some concerns regarding his conditioning when he showed up to camp with the Lightning, ultimately resulting in the team waiving him unconditionally. While he's found a new home, the 24-year-old blueliner will take a trip to the AHL affiliate, likely to get some game action under his belt, before potentially rejoining the Ducks. He posted just 11 points -- three goals and eight assists -- over 48 contests with the Lightning, likely leaving him off the fantasy radar in many leagues.

Ducks' Jake Dotchin: Inks deal, waived in procedural move
Dotchin signed a one-year contract with the Ducks on Wednesday, but the defenseman will need to pass through waivers unclaimed before he'll be eligible to join the team, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Dotchin had his contract terminated by the Lightning ahead of this season due to a "material breach," which apparently stemmed from the defenseman showing up to training camp out of shape. The 24-year-old is first and foremost an agitator from the back line, but Dotchin has accumulated three goals, 22 assists and a cumulative plus-27 rating over 83 career contests to show promise as a two-way skater. Evidently, the Ducks don't share the same concerns about the 6-foot-3, 210-pound blueliner's conditioning that the Bolts once did.

Jake Dotchin: Passes through waivers unclaimed
Dotchin cleared waivers Saturday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
The Lightning placed Dotchin on unconditional waivers due to a "material breach" of his contract. It's a rather ominous sign for the sixth-round pick (2012) that he went unclaimed, especially since training camp is open for NHL teams, and there's no doubt that some of them could use some extra depth on the blue line. Dotchin has collected 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) over 83 career contests with the Lightning. The 24-year-old is currently listed at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, with physicality being one of his more positive traits.

Jake Dotchin: Waived unconditionally
Dotchin was placed on unconditional waivers by the Lightning for the purpose of terminating his contract after a "material breach," Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
While the team didn't provide any additional comments, early reports suggest the club was disappointed with his conditioning upon reporting to training camp. In 48 outings last season, the youngster notched three goals and eight helpers while averaging 16:29 of ice time. Depending on the exact nature of his release, it seems unlikely there isn't at least one NHL team willing to take a look at Dotchin ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

Lightning's Jake Dotchin: Logs 11 points in 48 games
Dotchin scored 11 points (three goals, eight assists) over 48 games during the 2017-18 campaign, averaging 16:29 of ice time.
After starting out the season strong and playing in 19 of the first 20 games, Dotchin slowly started to see his playing time decrease throughout the year and only played in one game after Ryan McDonagh arrived in March. Although the lowered usage certainly raises questions toward his role next season, the 23-year-old was still able to score his first career NHL goal.

Lightning's Jake Dotchin: Healthy but likely sitting out Thursday
Dotchin (illness) is projected to be a healthy scratch for Thursday night's road tilt against the Bruins, according to an NHL.com game preview.
This would be the sixth straight absence for Dotchin, who hasn't been seeing the ice all that much after the team traded for established blueliner Ryan McDonagh on Feb. 26.

Lightning's Jake Dotchin: Says he's not feeling well
Dotchin is dealing with an illness ahead of Thursday's road game against the Bruins, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
There's no reason to believe that Dotchin's illness is more serious than your ordinary bug, so he should be considered day-to-day ahead of the next contest. The second-year defenseman has contributed three goals and 11 assists through 48 games this season.
